On August 1, 2023, a sequence starring Luciano Sanchez and the Brazilian Marcelo toured the world. It happened during the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores Cup of America. In the action, the established left back from Rio literally broke the Argentinos midfielder in two. And this Tuesday, almost 7 months after the injury, Sánchez appeared with a shocking and chilling scar at Diego Armando Maradona during the duel between Bicho and Independiente Rivadavia.
Sánchez was observed near the local substitute bench and with a type of immobilizing boot on his left leg and with a long scar on one side of his thigh.
“To speak in Creole, so that people can understand, which is easier than giving technical things: it is practically a separation of what the femur is, of the tibia and the fibula, of what the knee joint is. There is a complete tear of the anterior cruciate, the external lateral, part of the patella, part of the posterior cruciate…”, explained at the time Alejandro Roncoroni, general secretary of Argentinos and a doctor by profession. And he added: “In 23 years as a doctor I have never seen an injury like this, Villani (AFA doctor) in 40 years told me the same thing. It is almost a separation of the femur and the fibula. There is a rupture of the anterior and posterior cruciate and you have to see how the menisci are.”
Sánchez, who at the time received and accepted Marcelo’s apology, underwent surgery for the first time on August 21. He then went under the knife for the second time on November 25. Since then he has recovered with the hope of stepping on a soccer field again. In principle, Cheche could only be available for the second semester.
But Sánchez’s appearance was not the only one in La Paternal: he returned, this time playing for Independiente, Ezequiel Ham, that midfielder who was injured by Carlos Tevez in an Argentinos-Boca match in 2015. El Turco received a standing ovation and the local leaders They gave him a shirt with the number 22. And the Bicho fans also remembered Apache with a song.
